Video: National Disability Insurance Scheme: getting started

In this video, parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) talk about getting started with the National Disability Insurance Scheme, or NDIS, when you’re making the transition from HCWA.

They give tips for your first meeting with an NDIS planner. They say the meeting is an opportunity to think about what outcomes you want for your child, and to plan therapies and activities for the year ahead. They say the NDIS system is personalised and user friendly.

This video was developed in collaboration with and funded by the National Disability Insurance Agency.

Raising Children Network is supported by the Australian Government. Member organisations are the Parenting Research Centre and the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute with The Royal Children’s Hospital Centre for Community Child Health.
